An upgrade to the AVN-DIO10, the Sonifex AVN-DIO10-12G Dante to 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI Embedder/De-Embedder adds support for the full range of SDI standards from SD-SDI through to 12G-SDI. It can be used for simultaneous embedding and de-embedding of up to 64 channels.
A simple plug-and-play audio/video interface, the AVN-DIO10-12G provides a convenient and elegant method of connecting legacy 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI equipment to the Dante AoIP audio network. Front panel LEDs indicate network clock status, SDI lock status, AoIP Primary and AoIP Secondary link status, PoE Primary power and PoE Secondary power active.
The AVN-DIO10-12G takes an SDI feed, de-embeds up to 64 audio channels and places them on Channels 1-64 on the Dante network, mapped using Dante Controller. It simultaneously takes the 64 input channels mapped to the device on Dante Controller and re-embeds them onto the SDI output. The unit also contains an integrated SDI generator to allow embedding onto the SDI output without use of an SDI input. This is fully configurable through the web UI.
Other controls provided through the web UI allow embedding of Dante channels onto the SDI output per channel pair and there are two modes of operation – Insert Mode and Test Tone mode.
Insert Mode allows embedding to overwrite existing SDI audio selectively per channel pair, and disabled clears any incoming audio channels on the SDI output to allow selective embedding onto the SDI output per channel pair. Test Tone mode allows 1kHz, 2kHz, 3kHz and 4kHz signals to be output on Channels 1 to 4 respectively, for any group where embedding is enabled to allpow downstream SDI audio outputs to be tested without using Dante sources.
The unit is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), using Neutrik EtherCON connectors, with primary and secondary ports for power and data redundancy.
The AVN-DIO10-12G uses the latest Audinate Dante chipsets so is AES67 and Dante Domain Manager compliant. A web interface is available for firmware updates, control, status information and network settings.
Up to three AVN-DIO10-12G units can be mounted in the 1U AVN-DIORK rack.
